Perhaps you’ve already heard about the student who discovered the FBI had attached a tracking device to his car.
If you have not heard about this, do a search for “Guardian ST820 Muslim tracking 2010” (but without the quotation marks). As you will see by the pictures, the Guardian ST820 is big enough to be
easily spotted if attached to your vehicle.
If you have any remote suspicion that the feds are checking on you—whether you are a Muslim or not—the first step is to run your vehicle up on a hoist and have a mechanic check everything out.
If you find such a device, your first thought may be to attach it to a long-haul trucker’s tractor but I suggest you first
get some legal advice, fast. Remember, whichever three-letter agency put it there, they will claim the Guardian ST820 is
their property and
they will want it back!
If your car is clean but you are worried about the future, here’s how to avoid having a Guardian ST820 tracking device attached to your car:
Never leave your car in the driveway overnight, because (believe it or not!) your driveway is considered to be public property. Instead, keep your car in a closed, locked garage. When in use, have someone with you at all times. This person stays with the car and keeps a sharp lookout. (The going rate for a passenger to ride along is $10 an hour, which is what FedEx pays when their drivers need an excuse to use the HOV lane.)
Even then, do a spot check under your car from time to time. Keep in mind that the feds
do not need a warrant to attach a Guardian ST820 to any vehicle found in a public place. Including yours.
